Few film scores have left a mark on music history as permanent as Howard Shore's The Fellowship of the Ring. Composed for Peter Jackson's 2001 adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic, this sweeping orchestral soundtrack was performed by the Hollywood Studio Orchestra and became one of the most celebrated scores in cinema. It earned both an Academy Award for Best Original Score and a GRAMMY Award — a rare double distinction that cemented its place in the canon of great film music.
The album is U.S. platinum certified and features two original vocal compositions by Enya: "May It Be" and "Aníron (Theme for Aragorn and Arwen)" — pieces that became as iconic as the films themselves. Across two sides of black vinyl, Shore's themes — from the pastoral warmth of the Shire to the menace of Mordor — are rendered in a format that rewards serious listening and serious collecting.
